It was 2017, my first time inside the Academy Awards. Where else could I have seen the following moments?
This year, the ceremony’s logistical layout forced me to work outside the box: in the media room, with the rest of the Oscars press corps. Hours before the telecast, an academy official with a black-belt-level credential would take me on a labyrinthine walk down hallways, through black curtains and over velvet ropes, past the Foot Locker and Sephora that make parts of the complex indistinguishable from a suburban mall, and into the box that I shared with the show’s technical crew members. I’d peer down with binoculars to provide what journalists call "color," sprinkled into our stories as we seek to give readers a behind-thescenes glimpse. I would stand in an opera-style balcony near the stage at the Dolby Theatre that provides a great view of the show but an even better view of the audience. LOS ANGELES (AP) – I was the man in the box at the Oscars for The Associated Press.
